Welcome to Our Website  Congratulations on taking this step toward better dental health.
Dr. Sweeney is a specialist in Periodontics and provides services in Implantology. His practice specializes in conservative treatment of gum disease including cosmetic procedures to aesthetically enhance your smile and dental implants that can replace missing teeth. He also diagnoses and treats oral pathology.
Although no one really likes to go to the doctor or dentist, we strive to make your visits with us as comfortable and as pleasant as possible. We strongly believe that our patients' comfort is an important part of quality dental care. Our mission is to treat every patient as if they are our only patient.
Dr. Sweeney believes that your right to choose a dentist is an important freedom. We work closely as a team with your referring dentists, but a referral by a dentist is not required for a visit to our office. We welcome referrals from patients and friends of the practice.
We are extraordinarily proud of our staff, which is comprised of caring and dedicated professionals. They communicate well with the patients and each other, ensuring that the patient's surgical and administrative needs are met as efficiently and smoothly as possible.
Our goal is to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. We are here to listen to your questions and concerns and to help provide solutions leading to your better health. Please don't hesitate to e-mail us if you have any questions regarding your care, or call us at 810-985-6600. Our fax number is 810-985-6675, and our email address is info@drdalesweeney.com.
Scheduling Dr. Sweeney is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. We will schedule your appointment as promptly as possible. If you have pain or an emergency situation, every attempt will be made to see you that day.
We try to stay on schedule to minimize waiting at the time of your appointment. Referral of emergency patients can cause delays to the schedule, and your understanding and patience are very much appreciated.
Please assist us at the time of your initial visit to the office by providing the following information: - Your referral slip and x-rays from your referring dentist.
- A list of medications you are currently taking (please note that you now have the option of completing your patient registration and medical history form on this web page.)
- If you have dental insurance, please bring any forms or insurance cards with you to the appointment.
Please Note: All patients under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation appointment.
Please notify the office if you have a medical condition or concern prior to surgery (e.g. artificial heart valves or joints, heart murmurs requiring premedication, severe diabetes, or hypertension.)
If your referring dentist has taken x-rays, you may request that they be forwarded to us. Insurance Information Our insurance coordinators deal with many different insurance companies. Some companies offer many different dental and medical plans. Some companies combine dental and medical coverage. This insurance alphabet soup changes policies and guidelines weekly. At times, it is almost impossible to accurately estimate our patients' insurance co-payment. Many insurance companies will not give out fees until after the treatment is completed. Dealing with these companies can be difficult and time consuming. As a courtesy, we ask that you keep us informed of any change to your insurance. It is important that all information about you and your insurance is current. Co-Payment We ask that all treatment be paid at the time of service. In the event that extensive services are necessary, we a re pleased to offer up to twelve months of interest free financing as a service to our patients. Please ask about our “Care Credit” program. Private & Group Insurance As a courtesy, we will file your insurance claims for you. All co-payments must be paid at the time of service. Upon receipt of an insurance payment, any remaining balance due will be billed to you. If you have deposited an excessive co-payment, it will be refunded to you. Financial Information We will send you a monthly statement. Most insurance companies will respond within four to six weeks. Please call our office if your statement does not reflect your insurance payment within that time frame. Any remaining balance after your insurance company has paid is your responsibility. Your prompt remittance is appreciated.
For your convenience we accept Visa, Discover, American Express and MasterCard. If you have any problems or questions, please ask Tami, our financial coordinator, to assist you. She is well informed and up-to-date. They can be reached by phone at 810-985-6600,or by fax at 810-985-6675. Our office location is 2425 Military St., Building #3 in Port Huron, Michigan. Please call if you have any questions or concerns regarding your initial visit.
